[The network is treated to a nice shot of the snow-covered cement in the City Square and a muffled voice.]

Are you sure it’s on? I don’t see the—oh! Thank you, that makes a lot of sense, actually. You have a good day, too!

[After a momentary blackout (caused, no doubt, by a hand over the lens), a pale woman with red hair comes into view. Her sheepish smile is largely overshadowed by the considerable amount of blood on her blouse.]

Hey there. I’m Penny, I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing, and I definitely don’t know where I am—which is completely okay because I think I just died…? [she shakes her head, flustered] I know, that sounds totally insane, sorry. I promise I’m not a crazy person, just… you know, kind of confused.

[She pauses, thinking.]

Um. Does anyone know what’s going on? Or where I could get a new shirt, maybe?  This was a cute top, too...

I WILL TAG IN THE MORNING

[punchedhitler]

Hello?

Any time is a good time for tags!

[anunluckypenny]

Hello! I'm sorry, but do you live here? Or know where here is, maybe?

[stopbleepingme]

Oh my god are you all right?

[ Cue one Donna Noble scrambling at her device and trying to get up and out of the Welcome Center as fast as possible. ]

[punchedhitler]

Are you all right?

[dr_conscience]

Penny?

[A slight pause, then, reassuringly -]

You don't sound crazy. I promise.

[thewildone]

Penny!

2/3

[thewildone]

You just died?

3/3

[thewildone]

Never mind. I guess you don't re--anyway, I can come find you. I could even bring you a shirt.

[primrosella]

...Penny...?

Penny! Penny, is that really you? You're really--

--My goodness, is that--is that blood?!

[anunluckypenny]

Completely! [Wait--no.] Oh, the--yeah, I wasn't all right, I guess, but I'm better now. Really.

[ video ]

[anunluckypenny]

No, don't worry! It's way, way worse than it looks, I promise.

[Penny will be wandering aimlessly in the Square. She should be pretty easy to spot.]

voice;

[anunluckypenny]

Hi?

[A sigh of relief.]

Good! That's good, thank you, because I was really starting to rethink that "I'm not crazy" thing I said.

[anunluckypenny]

Hey! ...I'm so sorry, but do I know you?

I lied. 2/3

[anunluckypenny]

I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Everything's kind of foggy after the singing and the Death Ray...

3/3

[anunluckypenny]

I definitely wouldn't say no to a shirt.

[anunluckypenny]

It's really Penny, but I'm kind of thinking you're mistaking me for someone else, maybe? I'm really, really sorry.

[Bl--oh, yeah.]

Yeah, but it's okay. I'm good.

[primrosella]

Oh, no, not at all, I'm--

[...but wait. No, quite a few familiar faces have been returning with no memory lately, haven't they?]

--I'm sorry, myself, it's just that you remind me so much of a friend of mine. But of course, you've only just arrived here, haven't you? It's quite all right to be confused; it is a rather bewildering experience at first, taking it all in.

[thewildone]

I'm Curt. I dunno how to explain exactly but you were here before, so I know you, only I guess you don't remember. But you helped me out when I first got here, so I owe you one. Maybe more than one.

[anunluckypenny]

It's great to meet you, Curt! Or meet again? Re-meet? Anyway, you don't me owe me. I mean, even if you did, you wouldn't.

[anunluckypenny]

Sorry about your friend. I guess I just have one of those faces?

Yep, I'm all new and bewildered. Everyone's been super friendly, though, so it's not a bad kind of confusion. Do you live here...?

[primrosella]

Oh, it's quite all right. She was absolutely lovely, and I'm sure you're quite like her in that respect.

And I suppose you could say I live here, yes, since I have for quite a long time now! But this isn't my home, of course; it isn't for most people. We're brought here from all over, you see, and it sounds terribly complicated at first, but it does get easier after awhile.

[punchedhitler]

Are you sure? Do you need help?

[thewildone]

I guess it's sort of the first time, so nice to meet you too, and either way I'll bring you something not bloody to wear.

[anunluckypenny]

I'll try to be!

So the guy who was talking about other worlds and hubs and nexuses--nexi?--was trying to explain how this place works? I like "brought here from all over." That completely makes sense.

[Y'know, as much sense as being alive after almost definitely getting killed and ending up in a kooky place where people know her name. It's all good.]

It's nice getting to talk to you, by the way. I'm--well, you know who I am, I guess.

[anunluckypenny]

That'd be really sweet of you. I'm by a huge fountain right now, if that's any help with the locating?
